Webcam Model Tips

Hi, my name is Chloe, and I have worked as a webcam model for one of the largest cam sites for a few years before I officially "retired" in 2014. I retired mainly for personal reasons, you know the usual, husband, kids, etc., but before I left, I was making more money working part time from home than most people make working full time at a "regular" job!

Getting to make that much money wasn't easy, and it took many months of learning and hard work to perfect my winning formula! I met many other successful models both female and male who helped me along the way, and I will always be grateful to them. So instead of my colorful webcam career becoming a distant memory, I started this site to share my experiences!

Webcam Modeling 101

Being a successful webcam model requires some planning and preparation, both physical and mental! First and foremost, just like with any other job, you have to like what you do. If you're open minded, confident, and enjoy being in front of the camera, webcam modeling is definitely a job you should consider! Here are some of the basics which should help you get started:

There are a few things you need to know if you want to distinguish yourself from the rest. First and most important, you need to invest in an HD webcam which will be the key to you selling more shows, and having more repeat customers. HD capable webcams aren't as expensive as you'd think either. You will have to spend at least $30, and it's well worth the investment. You'll make that money back in no time with a good HD webcam. Remember, the Internet is your friend. Just do a search for HD webcams. You will find what you are looking for.
The fastest internet you can get from your internet provider is the one you want. Live video streaming takes up a lot of bandwidth so make sure no one else is using your connection while you are camming. Sometimes it won't affect your show too much, but it's better not to.
Chatters will most likely become recurring customers if you have a schedule posted. Read more...

Free Chat Advice

Always put your best mood in front of a free chat. Every time you log in you are making a first impression. There will always be someone new in your room. Never forgot that. If a chatter comes into a web cam model's room and they don't have a good time they won't come back. Your attitude and mood affect everything. Be polite and smile, you want it to be upbeat in you chat.
A big problem some models have is dead air. Dead air is complete silence in your chat. If you are ignoring your chatters then you won’t get privates. This is another reason you should have music playing. If you aren't sure what to talk about don't worry. Chatters will be asking you a lot of questions during your entire shift. Keep them engaged in a conversation, even if they aren't really talking. Ask them about their screen name or what they want in privates. Read more...

Group Chat Advice

This is where camming becomes an art. Every model will have a specialty, something that keeps a specific audience of chatters coming back. Be yourself and try to keep customers coming back! A very vital aspect of camming is role playing. Chatters come to cam models to escape and to have a different experience they may not get at home. Sometimes they are too afraid to try their favorite fantasy because it might be embarrassing or too bold. Keep this in mind; you never want to make a customer feel bad or embarrassed about their sexuality. It’s something we all have so let’s not make others feel bad about their most natural and carnal desires. That being said, there are many roles to be played. Read more...

Private Chat Advice

Private cam shows are an art form similar to group chats, without the rest of the group of course. They are intimate personal sessions between you and the chatter. Here are some things to keep in mind:

The website, network, or agency you work for makes a huge difference in your success or failure. Pick the right one, and you have a blast making more money than you ever thought was possible. Pick the wrong one, and you will waste tons of time without making money, and worse, you will feel discouraged with webcam modeling altogether. Your self confidence will suffer because you will assume it was all your fault, and you are not cut out to be a webcam model. You won't even bother trying again, because everyone hates failure, especially more than once at doing the same thing! Read more...
